Pick your fruit! Otherwise, it’s giving the plant signals that it’s job is done, it’s made it’s babies and reproduced and is ready to die.

Those are very ripe tomatoes. Its better to pick them when they start to turn orange. They wont get bigger or get a better taste if you leave them there

Both, looks like either blight on the leaves from too much water or drought. Clip off the dead and dying leaves, use an anti fungal spray. If enough days left in the growing season, it should regenerate new branches, suckers and leaves.

As others suggest pick them. Tomatoes in stress often put all their energy into fruit ripening. Take advantage of it

It looks like blight. If later in season than pick fruit and remove plant and any leaves or rotten fruits that have fallen and dispose in trash. Do not compost or till under. Next year you should plant tomatoes at least 10 feet away from where they are now. Some brights stay in the soil up to 3 years. I had 27 tomato plants (early girl) and ended up with less than 1/2 bushel of tomatoes due to early blight.

Struggling, but it’s doing its job.
Pick that fruit and trim those dead leaves
